Elie Saab - Fabulous!

I am fascinated by this man's designs.  He is a genius.  I love how elegant and feminine his designs are.  He is definitely my favorite dress designer at this moment.   His creations can be found at any moment on royalty (Princess Beatrice and Princess Victoria of Sweden), Chinese and French Actresses and many Hollywood's biggest names (Sarah Jessica Parker, Catherine Zeta Jones and Halle Berry). 

Here is a little info on him:

Elie Saab (born July 4, 1964), sometimes known simply as 'ES', is a self-taught Lebanese fashion designer.  In 1983 he launched his Beirut-based fashion label at the age of 18.  His main workshop is in Lebanon and also has workshops in Milan and Paris.

TODAY Entertainment - must disagree

TODAY Entertainment FB status says:   Cast your vote inside...can anyone top Angelina Jolie?

Are you kidding?  Her dress was OK, at best.  My two favorites aren't even on their list of dresses to vote for.

Golden Globes, 1/15/2012

I think this is my favorite of the evening.  Just finished reading that it is one of the worst - a window treatment.  Wow.  Must totally disagree.















Other favorites

Jessica Alba in Gucci is absolutely gorgeous too.

 Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang.  Awesome.

What Will Stars Wear to the Golden Globes

People is asking us to pick which dress a few celebrities should wear to the Golden Globes.  My favorite are the two options for Michelle Williams.  On the left is Oscar de la Renta and on the right, Valentino.  I LOVE them both.

Follow the link and have fun picking which one you think the celebrities should wear.http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/package/gallery/0,,20552369_20558877,00.html#21101140

Liz Claiborne Changes Name to Fifth & Pacific

Was always a fan of Liz Claiborne but I really like Fifth & Pacific.  No luck needed here.  I'm sure they will continue to soar.  Check out the article.

Made Me Smile

One Size Fits All

I often wonder who came up with the concept one "one size fits all".   Honestly, not even "one size fits most" is a good idea.  Although I can't afford a tailor to make my clothes I do try to work with what there is and come as close to finding things that appear to be made just for me.  

Sometimes when we I'm feeling a bit down (and/or bloated) I'll look for comfortable clothes.  Comfortable, unfortunately, rarely looks good.  I'm a firm believer that there is something for everyone and for every body type and shape.  But there really isn't anything that works for all (or even most) bodies.  Take the time to try things on.  Look in the mirror.  It should accentuate the good.  We all have it and should take the time to get familiar with what works.  

By no means do I get it right all the time.  And sometimes I have my phases when I rarely get it right.  But the minute I put something on that is flattering I can feel and see the difference.  I walk a little taller, my head tilts a bit higher.  And it feels so good.

We are all perfect just the way we are.  I know I need to exercise some more to make myself feel better but honestly no one else can wear "me" the way that I can.  That goes for each of us.  

Let's make this new year about feeling good about who we are, embracing ourselves.  And I will work on making myself the best possible "me".  And stay away from "one size fits all"!

Lots of good health, peace, love and beautiful fashions in 2012!
